It’s moving day at Augusta National Golf Club as the 89th edition of the Masters moves into the third round.
The leaderboard heading into the weekend is filled with some big names, each hoping to don the tournament’s legendary green jacket on Sunday.
Justin Rose sits at 8-under and has been the golfer to beat through two rounds, but Friday’s second round saw Bryson DeChambeau (-7) and Rory McIlroy (-6) make a big charge. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is lurking just behind the leaders at 5-under, as is perhaps the tournament’s biggest surprise – second-year PGA Tour player Matt McCarty, playing in his first Masters.
USA TODAY Sports will provide complete coverage of all the action during Saturday’s third round at Augusta National Golf Club. Follow along for live updates here:

A few facts about Amen Corner
Amen Corner, a term first introduced in 1958 by Herbert Warren Wind, refers to a three-hole stretch in golf renowned for its significant influence on the outcomes of the Masters Tournament each year.
Amen Corner consists of holes 11, 12, and 13, which have a pond sitting to the left of hole 11. Rae’s Creek runs in front of the 12th hole and alongside the fairway in front of the green at the 13th hole.
The 12th and 13th holes feature two bridges, each named after past champions.

Masters location: Where is Augusta National?
The Masters is played every year at Augusta National Golf Club, widely considered one of the top courses in the sport. Augusta National is located in Augusta, Georgia, which sits on the state’s eastern border with South Carolina.
Of the PGA Tour’s four majors, only the Masters has been played at the same course every time, with the 2025 tournament the 89th edition. — Jason Anderson
How many courses are at Augusta National?
Augusta National Golf Club has just two courses (or one-and-a-half, depending on how you look at it). The Masters will take place on the club’s legendary 18 holes, while Wednesday’s Par 3 competition took place at the nine-hole Par 3 course. — Jason Anderson
How much does it cost to play Augusta National?
The good news is that there are no greens fees, meaning that the cost to just drop in and play a round is $0 … if you can get on the course.
That’s where the bad news comes in: Augusta National is a private club, and the only ways to actually tee off without an altercation with club security are by being a member (or a guest of one), being an employee of the club, or by becoming one of the world’s best golfers and qualifying for the Masters or the Augusta National Women’s Invitational as a professional. — Jason Anderson
How do you become a member at Augusta National Golf Club?
If you’d like to land a membership at Augusta National Golf Club, you’d better start networking. There is no application process, with membership an invite-only process. The club has a long history of privacy, and while many reports have listed the total number of members around 300, there is no exact number confirmed by Augusta National.
Once you secure the remarkably exclusive invitation, you’d better make sure you can afford to actually accept it. A range of reports over the last 15 years have placed the initiation fee at somewhere between $40,000 and $300,000, while annual dues are estimated to run between $4,000 and $30,000. — Jason Anderson
Food at the Masters
The traditional Augusta National staples will all cost the same as they did last year. In fact, the price of the egg salad and pimento cheese sandwiches hasn’t gone up since 2002.
- Egg Salad: $1.50
- Pimento Cheese: $1.50
- Masters Club: $3.00
- Pork Bar-B-Que: $3.00
- Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich: $3.00
Beverages, too, remain the same as last year.
- Soft drinks: $2.00
- Iced tea/bottled water: $2.00
- Beer/wine: $6.00
Augusta National also serves a special wheat ale called “Crow’s Nest,” which replaced Blue Moon ale in 2021 and also sells for $6.00. — Steve Gardner
